After we'd spent several hours at the battlefield, we headed to Clava Cairns.
Clava Cairns is an ancient site outside of Inverness. It consists of 3 bronze age cairns. It's a significant and well-preserved site. The name Clava comes from the Gaelic phrase "Cuiridh mi clach air do carn", which means "I will put a stone on your cairn". ( cut and pasted from Wikipedia
Three burial cairns exist here making up a line of seven sites which are placed along the low-lying land of the River Nairn to the South. Together these sites form a massive group of some forty-five distinct cairns in the North of Inverness-shire. What is of great interest to this site is the fascinating construction that lies within a circular frame of large boulders.
I have read and enjoyed the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. The tv series is its own thing. NOT like the books. BUT I digress... When I touched the stones, I was hoping to time travel. You know, to find my own Jamie Frazer. No go. So, on we went with our vacation.
